Mumbai: Divi's Laboratories fell nearly 3.5% to the lowest in two years on Wednesday, extending losses to the fifth straight session after a number of analysts downgraded the stock citing dismal second-quarter earnings amid expensive valuations.

Shares of the Hyderabad-based pharmaceutical ingredient company closed at ₹3,297 apiece on the NSE. The stock touched an intraday low of ₹3,276.

Analysts at domestic brokerage Systematix Group are most bearish after the second quarter earnings and set a target price of ₹2,829 apiece. This implies a 14.2% fall from Wednesday's closing.


Incred Research Services expects the stock to touch ₹2,935.
Downgrades Drag Divi’s to 2-Yr Low

Jefferies, Motilal Oswal, and ICICI Securities downgraded their respective ratings, while Kotak Institutional Equities cut earnings estimates and price targets.

On aggregate, analysts lowered the price target by nearly 10% before the second quarter earnings to ₹3,573.71 per share, Bloomberg data showed. "We cut our revenue estimates by 3-4% and EPS estimates by 8-9% over FY23E-FY24E to factor in lower revenue growth resultant pressures on margins," said ICICI Securities.
